Russia-Africa: |19 December 2025

New horizons for old friends

By Sergey Lavrov

Cairo will soon host an important political event: heads and officials of the foreign ministries of Russia and the African countries will gather in the hospitable capital of Egypt to assess the state of Russia-Africa relations and set out the ways of their development.

For the first time, the ministerial conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum, which is the official name of our meeting, will take place on the African continent. We are glad that a year ago, during the first such conference in the Russian city of Sochi, our partners responded to the proposal to host the ministerial conference in 2025.
